Latest Book ...



The Lost Recipie for Happiness.

Ok, ok, I admit it - Iam a closet "foodie". My favourite show on the tube is "Masterchef", I am constantly gazing through the millions of recipies on the net (mind you, I only own 3 cook books - for some reason when I moved out of my house in Sydney I threw out all of my mother's .. and I cant tell you why either!) and Saturday is usually "Experimental Saturday" in the Robinson household, where I subject Evan to all my experimental cooking adventures (I usually warn people that if they are coming for dinner on a Saturday night to "expect the unexpected" and if it doesnt turn out we'll get Chinese!

Im not quite sure what attracted me to this book, but I think it could of been that I had been "Koontz out" and needed to read something a little more mainstream.

The story is about a "damaged" woman who was badly hurt in a car accident in her teens who carried with her enough survivor guilt to launch The Queen Mary! No, its the story of a woman trying to find herself and how she does through her cooking and of course through her dog, Alvin.

The book certainly hasnt got rave reviews, however, I am enjoying it just the same.
